Using the voice I have to speak up

Down with the Czars

I’m glad to see this happen. One of the many troubling things the Obama administration has done is to appoint a number of “czars.” These are positions with an unknown amount of power, none of which has been confirmed by the Senate. Thus, they have no accountability to anyone but the President. These positions may not be completely novel (I don‘t know), but the number of them certainly is. Nearly 40 “czars” have been appointed by Obama. To put it simply: It’s a power grab. Obama wants as much power as he can have. And now someone is standing up to him. I hope they succeed in de-funding them. If Obama wants to keep them, he can bring them before the Senate.
